Whatever you choose, make sure you test the water with an electronic TDS meter. They are about the price of a coffee and will tell you whether your filter is working properly.

Aren't those acually useless when trying to determine the quality of water?

It can tell you the purity based on the conductance of the water. It might not catch everything but it's good to verify the filter is working.
